After my own dog Zoey passed away, I made it my mission to honor her by helping as many dogs as I could! I simply love being around dogs and have always felt a very strong duty towards doing everything I can to help them thrive. That’s why being a dog sitter is a dream come true for me! Not only do I get to help dogs out in need, I also get to provide peace of mind to owners in need as well! I have tons of experience working with dogs! Firstly, I am a volunteer with the Fox Valley Animal Welfare League, where I help animals recover after surgeries, assist with dental cleanings, and oversee immunizations. It’s one of the most rewarding experiences ever. Not only do I get to help animals be happy and healthy, I also get to learn so much about professional animal care. It’s an amazing time and I learn so much whenever I’m there. In addition to my volunteer work, I have lots of experience working with animals with health issues and am always happy to take in pups that need a little extra patience or TLC to thrive. My Zoey, a rescue pup, had a legion of health issues that I worked with all the time, so I’m very familiar with working with pups in this way. One of the best aspects about me as a sitter is that I a full-time puppy lover! I’ll be able to spend the entire day with your pup, which means that I’ll be a great fit for animals that are used to having a human presence around them. I’m also a great fit for pups that would benefit from that, as well! After all, no one likes having their pup kenneled up or crated while they’re away, so I’m here to make sure that they get all the love and freedom they need to feel happy and secure. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I’m a stay at home fur baby momma. I modify my daily routine based on the pup In my care. I started my Rover business to help other PAWrents who work or travel and want the peace of mind that their beloved fur baby is in the best, most comfy and loving environment. It’s home away from home. I have gates up that prevent escape artists from wiggling their way out. I take every possible measure to ensure your pets will be safe at all times.
